1
Reflection Symmetry Where one half is of an object is the reflection of the other.
2
Reflection Symmetry in Polygons When looking at reflection symmetry, we are looking for LINES OF SYMMETRY, this is where, if we folded a shape along a line, it would fit perfectly on the other half.
3
Reflection Symmetry in Nature Have a look at some of these things from nature and see if you can see the lines of symmetry:
4
You will find many examples…
5
You will even find Radial Symmetry… RADIAL SYMMETRY is where the line of symmetry rotates on a point. Like in a Circle… Or in a Flower…
6
Task: Take one of the objects from the front table, your job is draw the other half of the object using a mirror to help you. When you have finished, you can use a mirror to see if your drawing looks accurate. See how many of the objects you can draw.
7
Use of Symmetry by Humans Human-kind have used symmetry for many years in many different ways… In Architecture…
8
In symbolism…
9
Even in cars…
10
We even use Radial Symmetry…
11
Can you think of any other times that humans have used Symmetry?
